Treatment
Underlying bone and joint disease was excluded, and the lesion healed completely with 6 months of standard antituberculous treatment. We review the literature on tuberculous gumma following an injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Our patient was a 77-year-old Japanese woman, who was under treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and chronic renal failure. [scienceopen.com]

Usually, patients that develop orificial TB have severe internal organ disease and the appearance of these lesions portends a poor prognosis. [misc.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Cutaneous invasion of M. tuberculosis causes the disease. This invasion can be exogenous or endogenous. Endogenous invasion is usually due to spread of pulmonary tuberculosis by hematogenous or lymphatic dissemination. [statpearls.com]
Pathophysiology The clinical manifestations of cutaneous tuberculosis primarily depend on the mode of infection, previous sensitization, and the immune status of the host. The mode of infection may be exogenous, autoinoculation, or endogenous. [clinicaladvisor.com]
In tissue, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification techniques can be used to detect M tuberculosis -specific DNA sequences and thus, small numbers of mycobacteria in clinical specimens. [1, 2] References Pathophysiology Disease transmission TB is [misc.medscape.com]
